Is it possible to fall pregnant after an abortion?

Question

I had an abortion 2 weeks ago which i deeply regret. I would like to find out if it is possible for me to fall pregnant again now? I have learnt my lesson and i would like another child....

Answer 1

2 weeks ago you did't want a child and now you do?  That pathetic.  You don't change your mind on something as serious as a child that quickly.

It's like your rebounding.  I'd wait a few months at least and see how you feel then..

Make sure you and your partner are actually ready.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible.  

Answer 3

yes you can. you have to ait until you get your period and again and when you ovulate and then you can have s*x and fall pregnant

Answer 4

Okay I read ur other questions and I feel so sorry 4 u I hope you didn't get HIV but all I know is that you can't have another baby now. Because its waaay 2 soon. You just had an abortion. Thats tuff 2 go threw.(If your not married then stop with the s*x! Its wrong to have s*x before marriage)  Don't ever get an abortion again. Its sad, painful, and more things I will not write. But you have not learned your lesson. Its too soon hun. but remeber no one on this message board knows what ur going through, so do what you think is right and talk to ur partner about it too. I wish u the best. Good luck!

Answer 5

Yeah, it's possible... but I don't think you should.

I mean, two weeks? At least give it a year, dude.

Answer 6

Yes.  Very possible.  As soon as you get a regular period again, if you ovulate afterwards and have s*x around that time, then yes, you could get pregnant.  I wouldn't worry about getting pregnant right away though.  If only two weeks ago you were willing to terminate a pregnancy because you weren't ready, I doubt if it happens again this soon, you will truly be any more ready than before.  It's almost like a "rebound" thing.  Just wait until you are REALLY ready.

Answer 7

I don't know how well statistics are kept on this subject because the abortion business is very poorly regulated. They are not even subject to the same sanitation standards as most restaurants are. I have read that as many as 1 in 3 women who have had abortions are unable to go on to have children. While I have never had an abortion I have 2 friends who have. One went on to have a child years later, the other was never able to have a child due to the damage done to her uterus from her abortion which was done in a "reputable" planned parenthood clinic

Answer 8

You should get some councilling because you are prob depressed at this time and this can play lots of tricks on the mind.  You had an abortion and can't go back and change that and now 2 weeks later want to get pregnant again.  You only want to get pregnant again becuase you feel bad and guilty for what you have done, not becuase you really do want a baby or to be a parent at this time, if you did you would never have gone through with the abortion to begin with.

Wait to make such a big decision, wait until you are married or in a long term and fully commited relationship, wait until you can provide love and all that a baby needs, wait until you are fully mature and ready physically and emotionally, Just please wait.

Answer 9

I wouldn't be so quick to jump right back into having a baby. Regret is often a profound side effect after an abortion and what you're feeling is normal. If you didn't want a child 2 weeks ago, I can't imagine you truly want one now...it's just a defense mechanism or raging hormones.

Give your body and mind sometime to heal and then think about it. In the mean time you might want to seek some counseling to help you overcome your feelings of regret.

Good luck and be careful, I truly believe you are not ready to make this decision just yet.

Answer 10

Ignore all of these people. I had an abortion recently also, and I am all too familiar with the feelings you are having; that feeling of what if you have made a mistake? I was told that just after my termination, I was at my most fertile, and that it was necessary to start birth control immediately. Think about it this way; it was easy enough to fall pregnant the first time, so it will be easy enough to do it again. Good luck, and don't make the same mistake again!

Answer 11

so let me get this right.you asked a previous question asking what your chances are of getting hiv because you suspect you have slept with someone who has it. then asked if you might be pregnant cos you took a test which came back neg and really wanted to be pregnant. and now your asking if you can try to have another baby because you have just got rid of one and now you want one 2 weeks later? omg.words cannot express how iam feeling right now and cannot write what i want too!! i think you get the message.you must be the sadest person ive ever come across.EVER!!
